Southwest's Chelsea Morgan signs to play volleyball at NPCC
INDIANOLA -- Southwest High School senior Chelsea Morgan, a 5-foot-9 middle hitter, signed a letter of intent Thursday to play volleyball at North Platte Community College.
"Chelsea has started the past two seasons in volleyball," said Southwest volleyball coach Dennis Troester.
"She played as a middle her first three years and this year moved between left side and right side, played most of the season as a right side hitter.
"Chelsea is a player who is blessed with very good athleticism. We utilized her jumping ability as a middle blocker and one of the main reasons I moved her to right side her senior season. She has a very tough floating serve."
Morgan recorded 41 aces this past season along with 89 kills, 101 digs and 33 solo blocks.
"I feel that she is a player who can continue to improve her game at the college level with hard work and determination," Troester said. "She is an excellent student and will excel in the classroom."
Morgan's school activities include volleyball, basketball and track. She is the RBLA- secretary/treasurer/historian, is a member of the National Honor society and is Quiz bowl captain.
She lettered in varsity volleyball for three years, two years in varsity basketball and three years in varsity track and field.
